Why does “[\s\S]” not working in C++11's regex












1














I have the code below this:



#include <string>
#include <regex>

int main(int argc, char const *argv) {
std::string s = "_apple_";

std::regex r1("_(\s|\S)+_");
std::regex r2("_[\s\S]+_");
std::regex r3("_.+_");
std::regex r4("_[pale]+_");

std::smatch sm;
printf("r1:%d r2:%d r3:%d r4:%dn",
std::regex_match(s, sm, r1),
std::regex_match(s, sm, r2),
std::regex_match(s, sm, r3),
std::regex_match(s, sm, r4));

return 0;
}


output:r1:1 r2:0 r3:1 r4:1



I can not understand why r2 is not match?



My environment is:



Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1

  • Then maybe shorthands like s and S cannot be used in character classes in your flavor of C++. In any case, your first regex given is a suitable workaround. But +1 to your good question.

The clang regex flavor is POSIX ERE acc. to clang-format regex syntax reference. In POSIX bracket expressions, the usual regex escape sequences, like s, d, w, and even ], are not supported.



The [sS] is the same as [\sS], and matches a backslash, s and S chars.



However, in POSIX regex standard, . matches any chars including line break chars thus there is no need using [sS] workaround.
